Jeremy -

Maybe it is my "mental clock" that is off :-) ?!?  I was moving a 
250,000,000 byte file to my Linux FTP server on a 100 base-T tcp/ip 
network and it took ~40 minutes.  This seemed a long time, however if 
this math is correct, then my "mental clock" was not correct:

250,000,000/100,000/60 = ~41 minutes.  Right?  Or am I missing a decimal 
point or more?
